Large framed right-hander at 6-foot-3. Fastball had good down plane from high three quarters slot. Pitched around 79 and topped at 81 mph. Spun upper 60s breaking ball with good rotation and the makings of depth to downward break.

#42 Ricky Clark — 2018 OF/IF
Long and wiry frame at 6-foot-2 and 165 pounds. Worked barrel to contact on a route inside the ball, hit the ball up the middle and the other way. Fairly athletic defender with versatility for outfield and infield spots. Projects to hit with more authority as he matures physically.

#33 Angel Tiburcio — 2018 1B
Large frame with strength. Balanced at plate, quiet hands with great rhythm to hit. Short and quick to contact with strength to impact the ball. Showed ability to drive the ball with authority to the biggest part of the ballpark. Runs the bases well. Can play either corner infield position, has plenty of arm strength for 3B.

#12 Billy Kral — 2017 RHP
Pitches with some deception, hides ball behind body after break of hands. Fastball was between 80 and 86 with some late run. Threw 68-72 mph curveball for strikes, and was effective with 74-76 mph changeup, and showed a slider at 78 mph. Velocity differentials allowed for effective four-pitch mix.

#13 Nik Malachowski — 2016 SS
Strong, athletic build. Quick hands to hit, especially to inner half. Quiet & balanced in the box. Gap to gap type pop. Sure handed defender at shortstop with good range and an accurate arm. Came in on the ball well, made an exceptional barehand play on a slow roller.

#0 Daniel Bello — 2016 1B
Talented left-handed hitter with a combination of physical ability and feel for hitting. Balanced approach with fluid actions and strength to stroke. Drove the ball hard back up the middle and to pull side.

#10 Hernen Sardinas — 2017 C
Mature build with obvious present strength. Showed some OF range with arm strength. Solid left-handed stroke with raw power. On Sunday in game two, he was a double short of the cycle — he tripled in his first at bat, then homered to right field, and singled twice.

#11 Gabriel Rivera — 2017 OF
Talented all-around player with range in center field along with arm strength. Strong right-handed stroke, drove the ball with authority the other way. A dynamic player with speed, he has extra base power and usable speed on the bases.

2017 3B Christian Rodriguez

#7 / 34 Christian Rodriguez — 2017 3B
Left-handed hitter with some length to his frame. The ball got off his bat with life, as evidenced by a long home run down the right field line, and later on a high popup to RF. Solid defender at 3B with arm strength for the left side of the infield.

#19 Andres Arguelles — 2016 LHP
Fastball velocity climbed as his outing went along, starting from 78-81 mph and working into the low 80s with a top bolt of 84 mph. He appeared to throw two types of breaking ball, and showed feel for both. His firmer version was up to 76 with plane from his hand closer to his fastball, while he showed better feel for his 65-68 mph downer with 1-to-7 shape. His arm worked well from the glove, and worked out front with some speed. It seems likely for his fastball velocity to climb, based on his arm speed and ability to spin a mid 70s breaking ball.

#9 Robert Fabelo – 2016 C
Big & strong body at 6-foot-2 and 190 pounds. Left-handed hitter with gap to gap approach and the ability to use the whole field. Solid all-around defender behind the plate with some arm strength and good receiving and blocking skills.

#20 Brandon Chinea — 2016 SS

#12 Yunel Decena – 2017 RHP
Pitched 84-85 mph with arm side run, touched a few 87s and a couple of 89s. Showed good feel for breaking ball, threw it around 70 with three quarter action. Arm worked free and easy, pitched down in zone. Pounded the zone with fastball and breaking ball. Has upside, can get more from lower half.

#26 Kendy Moya — 2016 SS

#18 Jordan Gonzalez — 2016 C/1B
Large, well-proportioned frame at 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds. Balanced hitting approach with nice right-handed stroke. Short to the ball, made full move through the zone out front.

#4 Dylan Cloonan — 2017 LHP
Wiry, athletic left-hander. Pounded the zone with fastball strikes, pitched 84-85 and touched 87. Spun only a handful of breaking balls, not really enough to get a great look. Delivery was athletic, arm worked loose and easy with quickness out front. It’s easy to see him gaining more on his fastball as he matures physically.

#66 Alvaro Valdez — 2016 OF
Strong & athletic left-handed hitter. Balanced & quiet approach to hit. Collected a pair of singles and a home run on day one.
